Fibonacci Optimal Entry Zone [OTE] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Fibonacci Optimal Entry Zone (Zeiierman) is a high-precision market structure tool designed to help traders identify ideal entry zones during trending markets. Built on the principles of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Fibonacci retracements, this indicator highlights key areas where price is most likely to react — specifically within the "Golden Zone" (between the 50% and 61.8% retracement).
It tracks structural pivot shifts (CHoCH) and dynamically adjusts Fibonacci levels based on real-time swing tracking. Whether you're trading breakouts, pullbacks, or optimal entries, this tool brings unparalleled clarity to structure-based strategies.
Ideal for traders who rely on confluence, this indicator visually synchronizes swing highs/lows, market structure shifts, Fibonacci retracement levels, and trend alignment — all without clutter or lag.
⚪ The Structural Assumption
Price moves in waves, but key retracements often lead to continuation or reversal — especially when aligned with structure breaks and trend shifts.
The Optimal Entry Zone captures this behavior by anchoring Fibonacci levels between recent swing extremes. The most powerful area — the Golden Zone — marks where institutional re-entry is likely, providing traders with a sniper-like roadmap to structure-based entries.
█ How It Works
⚪ Structure Tracking Engine
At its core, the indicator detects pivots and classifies trend direction:
Structure Period – Determines the depth of pivots used to detect swing highs/lows.
CHoCH – Break of structure logic identifies where the trend shifts or continues, marked visually on the chart.
Bullish & Bearish Modes – Independently toggle uptrend and downtrend detection and styling.
⚪ Fibonacci Engine
Upon each confirmed structural shift, Fibonacci retracement levels are projected between swing extremes:
Custom Levels – Choose which retracements (0.50, 0.618, etc.) are shown.
Real-Time Adjustments – When "Swing Tracker" is enabled, levels and labels update dynamically as price forms new swings.
Example:
If you disable the Swing Tracker, the Golden Level is calculated using the most recent confirmed swing high and low.
If you enable the Swing Tracker, the Golden Level is calculated from the latest swing high or low, making it more adaptive as the trend evolves in real time.
█ How to Use
⚪ Structure-Based Entry
Wait for CHoCH events and use the resulting Fibonacci projection to identify entry points. Enter trades as price taps into the Golden Zone, especially when confluence forms with swing structure or order blocks.
⚪ Real-Time Reaction Tracking
Enable Swing Tracker to keep the tool live — constantly updating zones as price shifts. This is especially useful for scalpers or intraday traders who rely on fresh swing zones.
█ Settings
Structure Period – Number of bars used to define swing pivots. Larger values = stronger structure.
Swing Tracker – Auto-updates fib levels as new highs/lows form.
Show Previous Levels – Keep older fib zones on chart or reset with each structure shift.

Sessions [Plug&Play]This indicator automatically highlights the three major FX trading sessions—Asia, London, and New York—on your chart and, at the close of each session, draws right-extended horizontal rays at that session’s high and low. It’s designed to help you visually identify when price is trading within each session’s range and to quickly see where the highest and lowest prices occurred before the next major session begins.
Key Features:
Session Boxes
Draws a semi-transparent box around each session’s timeframe (Asia, London, New York) based on your local UTC offset.
Each box dynamically expands in real time: as new candles form during the session, the box’s top and bottom edges update to match the highest high and lowest low seen so far in that session.
When the session ends, the box remains on your chart, anchored to the exact candles that formed its boundaries.
High/Low Rays
As soon as a session closes (e.g., London session ends at 17:00 UTC+0 by default), two horizontal rays are drawn at that session’s final high and low.
These rays are “pinned” to the exact candles where the high/low occurred, so they stay in place when you scroll or zoom.
Each ray extends indefinitely to the right, providing a clear reference of the key supply/demand levels created during that session.
Session Labels
Optionally places a small “London,” “New York,” or “Asia” label at the top edge of each completed session’s box.
Labels are horizontally centered within the session’s box and use a contrasting, easy-to-read font color.
Customizable Appearance
Show/Hide Each Session: Toggle display of London, New York, and Asia sessions separately.
Time Ranges: By default, London is 08:00–17:00 (UTC), New York is 13:00–22:00 (UTC), and Asia is 00:00–07:00 (UTC). You can override each session’s start/end times using the “Time Range” picker.
Color & Opacity: Assign custom colors to each session. Choose a global “Dark,” “Medium,” or “Light” opacity preset to adjust box fill transparency and border shading.
Show/Hide Labels & Outlines: Turn the text labels and the box borders on or off independently.
UTC Offset Support
If your local broker feed or price data is not in UTC, simply adjust the “UTC Offset (+/–)” input. The indicator will recalculate session start/end times relative to your chosen offset.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator:
Open TradingView’s Pine Editor, paste in this script, and click “Add to Chart.”
By default, you’ll see three translucent boxes appear once each session begins (Asia, London, New York).
Watch in Real Time:
As soon as a session starts, its box will appear anchored to the first candle. The top and bottom of the box expand if new extremes occur.
When the session closes, the final box remains visible and two horizontal rays mark that session’s high and low.
Analyze Key Levels:
Use the high- and low-level rays to gauge session liquidity zones—areas where stop orders, breakouts, or reversals often occur.
For example, if London’s high is significantly above current price, it may act as resistance in the New York session.
Customize to Your Needs:
Toggle specific sessions on/off (e.g., if you only care about London and New York).
Change each session’s color to match your chart theme.
Adjust the “UTC Offset” so sessions align with your local time.
Disable labels or box borders if you prefer a cleaner look.
Inputs Overview:
Show London/New York/Asia Session (bool): Show or hide each session’s box and its high/low rays.
Time Range (session): Defines the start/end of each session in “HHMM–HHMM” (24h) format.
Colour (color): Custom color for each session’s box fill, border, and high/low rays.
Show Session Labels (bool): Toggle the “London,” “New York,” “Asia” text that appears at the top of each completed box.
Show Range Outline (bool): Toggle the box border (if off, only a translucent fill is drawn).
Opacity Preset (Dark/Medium/Light): Controls transparency of box fill and border.
UTC Offset (+/–) (int): Adjusts session times for different time zones (e.g., +1 for UTC+1).
Why It’s Useful:
Quickly Identify Session Activity: Visually distinguish when each major trading session is active, then compare price action across sessions.
Pinpoint High/Low Liquidity Levels: Drawn rays highlight where the market hit its extremes—critical zones for stop orders or breakout entries.
Multi-Timeframe Context: By seeing historical session boxes and rays, you can locate recurring supply/demand areas, overlap zones, or session re-tests.
Fully Automated Workflow: Once added to your chart, the script does all the work of tracking session boundaries and drawing high/low lines—no manual box or line drawing necessary.
Example Use Cases:
London Breakout Traders: See where London’s high/low formed, then wait for price to revisit those levels during the New York session.
Range Breakout Strategies: If price consolidates inside the London box, use the boxed extremes as immediate targets for breakout entries.
Intraday Liquidity Swings: During quieter hours, watch Asia’s high/low to identify potential support/resistance before London’s opening.
Overlap Zones: Compare London’s range with Asia’s range to find areas of confluence—high-probability reversal or continuation zones.
Wick SweepThe Wick Sweep indicator identifies potential trend reversal zones based on price action patterns and swing points. Specifically, it looks for "Wick Sweeps," a concept where the market temporarily breaks a swing low or high (creating a "wick"), only to reverse in the opposite direction. This pattern is often indicative of a market attempting to trap traders before making a larger move. The indicator marks these zones using dashed lines, helping traders spot key areas of potential price action.
Key Features:
* Swing Low and High Detection: The indicator identifies significant swing lows and highs within a user-defined period by employing Williams fractals.
* Wick Sweep Detection: Once a swing low or high is identified, the indicator looks for price movements that break through the low or high (creating a wick) and then reverses direction.
* Fractal Plotting: Optionally, the indicator plots fractal points (triangle shapes) on the chart when a swing low or high is detected. This can assist in visually identifying the potential wick sweep areas.
* Line Plotting: When a wick sweep is detected, a dashed line is drawn at the price level of the failed low or high, visually marking the potential reversal zone.
Inputs:
* Periods: The number of bars used to identify swing highs and lows. A higher value results in fewer, more significant swing points.
* Line Color: The color of the dashed lines drawn when a wick sweep is detected. Customize this to match your chart's theme or preferences.
* Show Fractals: A toggle that, when enabled, plots triangle shapes above and below bars indicating swing highs (up triangles) and swing lows (down triangles).
Functionality:
* Swing High and Low Calculation:
- The indicator calculates the swing low and swing high based on the periods input. A swing low is identified when the current low is the lowest within a range of (2 * periods + 1), with the lowest point being at the center of the period.
- Similarly, a swing high is identified when the current high is the highest within the same range.
* Wick Sweep Detection:
- Once a swing low or high is detected, the script looks for a potential wick. This happens when the price breaks the swing low or high and then reverses in the opposite direction.
- For a valid wick sweep, the price should briefly move beyond the identified swing point but then close in the opposite direction (i.e., a bullish reversal for a swing low and a bearish reversal for a swing high).
- A line is drawn at the price level of the failed low or high when a wick sweep is confirmed.
Confirmations for Reversal:
* The confirmation for a wick sweep requires that the price not only break the swing low/high but also close in the opposite direction (i.e., close above the low for a bullish reversal or close below the high for a bearish reversal).
* The confirmation is further refined by checking that the price movement is within a reasonable distance from the original swing point, which prevents the indicator from marking distant, unimportant price levels.
Additional Notes:
* The Wick Sweep indicator does not provide standalone trading signals; it is best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as trend analysis, oscillators, or volume indicators.
* The periods input can be adjusted based on the trader’s preferred level of sensitivity. A lower period value will result in more frequent swing points and potentially more signals, while a higher value will focus on more significant market swings.
* The indicator may work well in ranging markets where price tends to oscillate between key support and resistance levels.
UM Dual MA with Price Bar Color change & Fill
Description
This is a dual moving average indicator with colored bars and moving averages. I wrote this indicator to keep myself on the right side of the market and trends. It plots two moving averages, (length and type of MA are user-defined) and colors the MAs green when trending higher or red when trending lower. The price bars are green when both MAs are green, red when both MAs are red, and orange when one MA is green and the other is red. The idea behind the indicator is to be extremely visual. If I am buying a red bar, I ask myself "why?" If I am selling a green bar, again, "why?"
Recommended Usage
Configure your tow favorite Moving averages. Consider long positions when one or both turn green. Scale into a position with a portion upon the first MA turning green, and then more when the second turns green. Consider scaling out when the bars are orange after an up move.
Orange bars are either areas of consolidation or prior to major turns.
You can also look for MA crossovers.
The indicator works on any timeframe and any security. I use it on daily, hourly, 2 day charts.
Default settings
The defaults are the author's preferred settings:
- 8 period WMA and 16 period WMA.
- Bars are green when both MAs are trending higher, red when both MAs are trending lower, and orange when one MA is trending higher and the other is trending lower.
Moving average types, lengths, and colors are user-configurable. Bar colors are also user-configurable.
Alerts
Alerts can be set by right-clicking the indicator and selecting the dropdown:
- Bullish Trend Both MAs turning green
- Bearish Trend Both MAs turning red
- Mixed Trend, 1 green 1 red MA
Helpful Hints:
Look for bullish areas when both MAs turn green after a sustained downtrend
Look for bearish areas when both MAs turn red
Careful in areas of orange bars, this could be a consolidation or a warning to a potential trend direction change.
Switch up your timeframes, I toggle back and forth between 1 and 2 days.
Stretch your timeframe over a lower time frame; for example, I like the 8 and 16 daily WMA. With most securities I get 16 bars with pre and post market. This translates into 128 and 256 MAs on the hourly chart. This slows down moves and color transitions for better manageability.
Author's Subjective Observations
I like the 128/256 WMA on the hourly charts for leveraged and inverse ETFs such as SPXL/SPXS, TQQQ/SQQQ, TNA/TZA. Or even the volatility ETFs/ETNS: UVXY, VXX.
Here is a one-hour chart example:
I have noticed that as volatility increases, I should begin looking at higher timeframes. This seems counterintuitive, but higher volatility increases the level of noise or swings.
I question myself when I short a green bar or buy a red bar; "Why am I doing this?" The colors help me visually stay on the right side of trend. If I am going to speculate on a market turn, at least do it when the bars are orange (MA trends differ)
My last observation is a 2-day chart of leveraged ETFs with the 8 and 16 WMAs. I frequently trade SPXL, FNGA, and TNA. If you are really dissecting this indicator,
look at a few 2-day charts. 2-day charts seem to catch the major swings nicely up and down. They also weed out the daily sudden big swings such as a panic move from economic data
or tweets. When both the MAs turn red on a 2-day chart the same day or same bar, beware; this could be a rough ride or short opportunity. I found weekly charts too long for my style but good
to review for direction. Less decisions on longer charts equate to less brain damage for myself.
These are just my thoughts, of course you do you and what suits your style best! Happy Trading.
Fractal Wave MarkerFractal Wave Marker is an indicator that processes relative extremes of fluctuating prices within 2 periodical aspects. The special labeling system detects and visually marks multi-scale turning points, letting you visualize fractal echoes within unfolding cycles dynamically.
What This Indicator Does
Identifies major and minor swing highs/lows based on adjustable period.
Uses Phi in power exponent to compute a higher-degree swing filter.
Labels of higher degree appear only after confirmed base swings — no phantom levels, no hindsight bias. What you see is what the market has validated.
Swing points unfold in a structured, alternating rhythm . No two consecutive pivots share the same hierarchical degree!
Inspired by the Fractal Market Hypothesis, this script visualizes the principle that market behavior repeats across time scales, revealing structured narrative of "random walk". This inherent sequencing ensures fractal consistency across timeframes. "Fractal echoes" demonstrate how smaller price swings can proportionally mirror larger ones in both structure and timing, allowing traders to anticipate movements by recursive patterns. Cycle Transitions highlight critical inflection points where minor pivots flip polarity such as a series of lower highs progress into higher highs—signaling the birth of a new macro trend. A dense dense clusters of swing points can indicate Liquidity Zones, acting as footprints of institutional accumulation or distribution where price action validates supply and demand imbalances.
Visualization of nested cycles within macro trend anchors - a main feature specifically designed for the chartists who prioritize working with complex wave oscillations their analysis.

ICT Liquidity Levels [TakingProphets]Overview
This indicator is designed to dynamically identify and display key liquidity levels—areas where market participants are likely to engage. By analyzing price swing points, it highlights potential support and resistance zones that can signal reversals or breakouts. The script distinguishes between buyside and sellside liquidity levels, presenting them with customizable visual cues and labels for immediate clarity.
How It Works
Swing Point Detection:
The indicator uses a pivot-based method (with a configurable “Base Swing Strength”) to detect swing highs and lows. Each detected swing is evaluated for its “swing size” (percentage price movement), and if it exceeds a user-defined threshold, the level is classified as major.
Level Creation and Classification:
Overview
Built on core ICT principles, this indicator identifies key liquidity zones—areas where market imbalances can lead to liquidity sweeps. By dynamically analyzing swing points, it offers traders a real-time view of where liquidity is clustering, allowing for a deeper understanding of market structure. 🚀
How It Works
Swing Point Detection 🔍
• Uses a pivot-based method with a configurable “Base Swing Strength” to detect significant price swings.
• Calculates the swing size (percentage change) to flag zones that exceed the “Major Level Threshold” as major liquidity zones.
Level Creation & Classification 🛠️
• Buyside Liquidity Levels (BSL):
Identified from swing highs, marking zones where buying liquidity clusters.
• Sellside Liquidity Levels (SSL):
Identified from swing lows, highlighting zones of concentrated selling liquidity.
• Each zone is stored with its price, bar index, and classification (major or standard) before being drawn as a horizontal line on the chart.
Dynamic Level Management 🔄
• Extension: Liquidity lines automatically extend from their detection point to the current bar.
• Consolidation: When levels are close in price, the script merges them—updating labels (e.g., “REQH” or “REQL”) to denote unified liquidity zones.
• Traded-Through Detection: Adjusts or removes levels if the market moves beyond them, based on your settings.
• Age-Based Cleanup: Inactive zones are automatically removed after a set number of bars to maintain clarity.
Customization Options ⚙️
Visual Settings:
• Choose from solid, dashed, or dotted line styles and adjust line width.
• Option to display labels with customizable placement (left or right) for optimal clarity.
Color & Opacity:
• Set distinct colors for buyside and sellside liquidity zones.
• Configure opacity for zones that have been traded through, keeping them visible yet de-emphasized.
Detection & Cleanup Parameters:
• Adjust “Base Swing Strength” to control pivot detection sensitivity.
• Set the “Major Level Threshold %” to filter for significant liquidity zones.
• Decide whether to retain or remove zones once price moves through them.
• Define how many bars should pass before inactive zones are automatically deleted.
How to Use 🚀
Apply the Indicator:
Simply add the script to your chart—it automatically detects and marks key liquidity zones based on recent price action.
Adjust Inputs:
Fine-tune parameters like swing strength, threshold percentages, and visual settings to match the asset’s characteristics and your trading strategy.
Interpret the Visuals:
• Major Liquidity Zones:
Highlighted with thicker lines and distinct labels (e.g., “Major BSL/SSL”), indicating areas of heightened liquidity concentration.
• Consolidated Zones:
Merged labels (e.g., “REQH/REQL”) denote unified liquidity zones where clustering is significant.
• Traded-Through Zones:
Changes in opacity signal that the market has moved beyond a previously identified liquidity zone.
Underlying ICT Concepts 💡
Liquidity Pools & Sweeps:
Focused on identifying where liquidity is concentrated, the indicator aligns with ICT methodologies that highlight zones crucial for liquidity sweeps.
Pivot Analysis for Liquidity:
Enhances traditional pivot detection to spotlight liquidity clusters, providing a deeper insight into market structure.
Real-Time Adaptation:
With continuous updates and built-in cleanup, the indicator ensures that liquidity zones accurately reflect current market conditions.
Trending Market Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The Trending Market Toolkit focuses exclusively on trending market structures and high-confluence, high-risk-to-reward entry models. It is designed to complement discretionary trading by offering different entry strategies based on market structure.
🔶 USAGE
In the chart above we can see how the tool detects several reversals, draws the broken trendlines, the reversal areas from which the tool starts looking for a trigger, and when it finally happens, a potential trade with risk and reward areas and the risk/reward ratio.
🔹 Detection Mode
Traders can choose between three different modes: trend only, reversal only, or both.
If both are active, reversals have priority over trends, so the tool will not detect a trend if a reversal is active.
In the chart above we can see all three modes.
🔹 Detection on Higher Timeframes
Traders can choose to identify structures on the chart timeframe or on a higher timeframe.
In the chart above, we have the SP500 futures on the 5m timeframe with different settings: chart timeframe, 30m, and 1H.
🔹 Risk And Targets
Depending on whether the high-risk/reward parameter is enabled, traders can choose between three different targets and two different stops.
The chart above shows how different choices affect the risk/reward ratio for the same potential trade on the Gold Futures 2m chart.
🔶 SETTINGS
Show: Traders can choose between Trends, Reversals or Both.
🔹 Structures
Swing Length: Number of candles to confirm a swing high or swing low. A higher number detects larger swings.
Custom Timeframe: Traders can make use of the current chart timeframe, or choose a custom timeframe.
Reversal Area Threshold: A higher number increases the reversal area.
🔹 Trades
Trade Trigger Length: Number of candles to confirm an internal high or internal low. A lower number detects smaller swings. It must be the same size or smaller than the swing length.
Target: Traders can choose between the default target (0) or two extended targets (0.27 or 0.618).
Risk to Reward Threshold: Set the minimum risk-to-reward ratio to detect trades. Use the 0 value to detect all trades.
High Risk to Reward: Enable/Disable the high risk to reward mode.
Reversal Probability Zone & Levels [LuxAlgo]The Reversal Probability Zone & Levels tool allows traders to identify a zone starting from the last detected reversal to highlight the probability of where the next reversal would be from a price and time perspective.
Price and time levels within the zone are displayed for up to 4 percentiles defined by the user.
🔶 USAGE
By default, the tool displays a zone with the 25th, 50th, 75th and 90th percentiles on both the price and time axis, indicating where, when and how many of the past reversals have occurred.
Traders can select the length for swing detection and the maximum number of reversals for probability calculations. The tool considers both bullish and bearish reversals separately, which means that if the last reversal was a swing high, the zone would show the probabilities for the last defined Maximum reversals
The Maximum reversals value has a direct impact on the probabilities, the more data traders use the more significant the result, probabilities over 10 occurrences are far weak compared to probabilities over 1000 occurrences.
🔹 Percentiles
Traders can fine-tune the percentile parameters in the settings panel.
A given percentile means that the number of occurrences in the data set is less than or equal to the percentile.
In English, this means
Percentile 20th: 20% of the occurrences are less than or equal to this value, so 80% of the occurrences are greater than this value.
Percentile 50th: 50% of the occurrences are below and 50% are above this value.
Percentile 80th: 80% of occurrences are lower than or equal to this value, so 20% of occurrences are greater than this value.
🔹 Normalize data
The Normalize Data feature allows traders to make an apples to apples comparison when we have a lot of historical data on high timeframe charts, using returns between swings instead of raw price.
🔹 Display Style
By default, the tool has the No overlapping feature enabled to display a clean chart, traders can turn it off, but this can fill the chart with too much information and barely see the price.
Traders can enable/disable settings to show only the last zone and the swing markers on the chart.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Length: The maximum length in bars used to identify a swing
Maximum Reversals: Maximum number of reversals included in calculations
Normalize Data: Use returns between swings instead of raw price
Percentiles: Enable/disable each of the four percentiles and select the percentile number, line style, colors, and size
🔹 Style
No Overlapping Zones: Enable or disable the No overlap between zones feature
Show Only Last Zone: Enable/disable display of last zone only
Show Marks: Enable/disable reversal markers
Unmitigated 50% of the RangeThis indicator is designed to display unmitigated 50% zones of price ranges within two swing (High and Low) points. The 50% level serves as a probable target for retracements before the price resumes its movement in the direction of the most recent swing. The underlying theory is that Price Action tends to correct unbalanced price zones by returning to 50% of the range.
The indicator identifies highs and lows utilizing the “Left Swing Sensitivity” setting, which detects the high/low points within the specified number of bars. It then ensures that the zone meets a minimum size requirement, configured via the “Minimum Leg Size” setting, to filter out smaller legs/zones that would not provide sufficient profit and loss opportunities for entries at 50% and take profit at the most recent swing point.
To prevent duplication of zones when the price is gradually moving up, an "Auto Adjust Levels" setting is available. Enabled by default, this feature automatically cleans up smaller zones, retaining only the primary zone between the most recent swing point and the outer swing.
Additionally, the indicator automatically removes mitigated zones where the price has returned to the 50% level, thus maintaining clean charts.
There are several visualization settings available, offering comprehensive control over what is displayed on the charts:
Control the color and style of the lines representing the 1, 0, and 50% levels.
Choose whether to display labels and if they should show the price at the rendered levels.
Optionally extend the lines/labels to the right for each level.
2022 Model ICT Entry Strategy [TradingFinder] One Setup For Life🔵 Introduction
The ICT 2022 model, introduced by Michael Huddleston, is an advanced trading strategy rooted in liquidity and price imbalance, where time and price serve as the core elements. This ICT 2022 trading strategy is an algorithmic approach designed to analyze liquidity and imbalances in the market. It incorporates concepts such as Fair Value Gap (FVG), Liquidity Sweep, and Market Structure Shift (MSS) to help traders identify liquidity movements and structural changes in the market, enabling them to determine optimal entry and exit points for their trades.
This Full ICT Day Trading Model empowers traders to pinpoint the Previous Day High/Low as well as the highs and lows of critical sessions like the London and New York sessions. These levels act as Liquidity Zones, which are frequently swept prior to a market structure shift (MSS) or a retracement to areas such as Optimal Trade Entry (OTE).
Bullish :
Bearish :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT 2022 model is a sophisticated trading strategy that focuses on identifying key liquidity levels and price movements. It operates based on two main principles. In the first phase, the price approaches liquidity zones and sweeps critical levels such as the previous day’s high or low and key session levels.
This movement is known as a Liquidity Sweep. In the second phase, following the sweep, the price retraces to areas like the FVG (Fair Value Gap), creating ideal entry points for trades. Below is a detailed explanation of how to apply this strategy in bullish and bearish setups.
🟣 Bullish ICT 2022 Model Setup
To use the ICT 2022 model in a bullish setup, start by identifying the Previous Day High/Low or key session levels, such as those of the London or New York sessions. In a bullish setup, the price usually moves downward first, sweeping the Liquidity Low. This move, known as a Liquidity Sweep, reflects the collection of buy orders by major market participants.
After the liquidity sweep, the price should shift market structure and start moving upward; this shift, referred to as Market Structure Shift (MSS), signals the beginning of an upward trend. Following MSS, areas like FVG, located within the Discount Zone, are identified. At this stage, the trader waits for the price to retrace to these zones. Once the price returns, a long trade is executed.
Finally, the stop-loss should be set below the liquidity low to manage risk, while the take-profit target is usually placed above the previous day’s high or other identified liquidity levels. This structure enables traders to take advantage of the upward price movement after the liquidity sweep.
🟣 Bearish ICT 2022 Model Setup
To identify a bearish setup in the ICT 2022 model, begin by marking the Previous Day High/Low or key session levels, such as the London or New York sessions. In this scenario, the price typically moves upward first, sweeping the Liquidity High. This move, known as a Liquidity Sweep, signifies the collection of sell orders by key market players.
After the liquidity sweep, the price should shift market structure downward. This movement, called the Market Structure Shift (MSS), indicates the start of a downtrend. Following MSS, areas such as FVG, found within the Premium Zone, are identified. At this stage, the trader waits for the price to retrace to these areas. Once the price revisits these zones, a short trade is executed.
In this setup, the stop-loss should be placed above the liquidity high to control risk, while the take-profit target is typically set below the previous day’s low or another defined liquidity level. This approach allows traders to capitalize on the downward price movement following the liquidity sweep.
🔵 Settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filters :
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.

Money Flow ExtendedMoney Flow Extended (MF)
Definition
The Money Flow Extended (MF) indicator brings together the functionality of the Money Flow Index indicator (MFI) , a tool created by Gene Quong and Avrum Soudack and used in technical analysis for measuring buying and selling pressure, and The Relative Strength Index (RSI) , a well versed momentum based oscillator created by J.Welles Wilder Jr., which is used to measure the speed (velocity) as well as the change (magnitude) of directional price movements.
History
As the Money Flow Index (MFI) is quite similar to The Relative Strength Index (RSI), essentially the RSI with the added aspect of volume, adding a Moving Average, divergence calculation, oversold and overbought gradients, facilitates the transition from RSI, making the use of MFI pretty similar.
What to look for
Overbought/Oversold
When momentum and price rise fast enough, at a high enough level, eventual the security will be considered overbought. The opposite is also true. When price and momentum fall far enough, they can be considered oversold. Traditional overbought territory starts above 80 and oversold territory starts below 20. These values are subjective however, and a technical analyst can set whichever thresholds they choose.
Divergence
MF Divergence occurs when there is a difference between what the price action is indicating and what MF is indicating. These differences can be interpreted as an impending reversal. Specifically, there are two types of divergences, bearish and bullish.
Bullish MFI Divergence – When price makes a new low but MF makes a higher low.
Bearish MFI Divergence – When price makes a new high but MF makes a lower high.
Failure Swings
Failure swings are another occurrence which can lead to a price reversal. One thing to keep in mind about failure swings is that they are completely independent of price and rely solely on MF. Failure swings consist of four steps and are considered to be either Bullish (buying opportunity) or Bearish (selling opportunity).
Bullish Failure Swing
MF drops below 20 (considered oversold).
MF bounces back above 20.
MF pulls back but remains above 20 (remains above oversold)
MF breaks out above its previous high.
Bearish Failure Swing
MF rises above 80 (considered overbought)
MF drops back below 80
MF rises slightly but remains below 80 (remains below overbought)
MF drops lower than its previous low.
Summary
The Money Flow Extended (MF) can be a very valuable technical analysis tool. Of course, MF should not be used alone as the sole source for a trader’s signals or setups. MF can be combined with additional indicators or chart pattern analysis to increase its effectiveness.

Turtle Soup ICT Strategy [TradingFinder] FVG + CHoCH/CSD🔵 Introduction
The ICT Turtle Soup trading setup, designed in the ICT style, operates by hunting or sweeping liquidity zones to exploit false breakouts and failed breakouts in key liquidity Zones, such as recent highs, lows, or major support and resistance levels.
This setup identifies moments when the price breaches these liquidity zones, triggering stop orders placed (Stop Hunt) by other traders, and then quickly reverses direction. These movements are often associated with liquidity sweeps that create temporary market imbalances.
The reversal is typically confirmed by one of three structural shifts : a Market Structure Shift (MSS), a Change of Character (CHoCH), or a break of the Change in State of Delivery (CISD). Each of these structural shifts provides a reliable signal to interpret market intent and align trading decisions with the expected price movement. After the structural shift, the price frequently pullback to a Fair Value Gap (FVG), offering a precise entry point for trades.
By integrating key concepts such as liquidity, liquidity sweeps, stop order activation, structural shifts (MSS, CHoCH, CISD), and price imbalances, the ICT Turtle Soup setup enables traders to identify reversal points and key entry zones with high accuracy.
This strategy is highly versatile, making it applicable across markets such as forex, stocks, cryptocurrencies, and futures. It offers traders a robust and systematic approach to understanding price movements and optimizing their trading strategies
🟣 Bullish and Bearish Setups
Bullish Setup : The price first sweeps below a Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) zone, then reverses upward after forming an MSS or CHoCH, and finally pulls back to an FVG, creating a buying opportunity.
Bearish Setup : The price first sweeps above a Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) zone, then reverses downward after forming an MSS or CHoCH, and finally pulls back to an FVG, creating a selling opportunity.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively utilize the ICT Turtle Soup trading setup, begin by identifying key liquidity zones, such as recent highs, lows, or support and resistance levels, in higher timeframes.
Then, monitor lower timeframes for a Liquidity Sweep and confirmation of a Market Structure Shift (MSS) or Change of Character (CHoCH).
After the structural shift, the price typically pulls back to an FVG, offering an optimal trade entry point. Below, the bullish and bearish setups are explained in detail.
🟣 Bullish Turtle Soup Setup
Identify Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) : In a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour or 4-hour), identify recent price lows or support levels that serve as SSL zones, typically the location of stop-loss orders for traders.
Observe a Liquidity Sweep : On a lower timeframe (e.g., 15-minute or 30-minute), the price must move below one of these liquidity zones and then reverse. This movement indicates a liquidity sweep.
Confirm Market Structure Shift : After the price reversal, look for a structural shift (MSS or CHoCH) indicated by the formation of a Higher Low (HL) and Higher High (HH).
Enter the Trade : Once the structural shift is confirmed, the price typically pulls back to an FVG. Enter a buy trade in this zone, set a stop-loss slightly below the recent low, and target Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) in the higher timeframe for profit.
🟣 Bearish Turtle Soup Setup
Identify Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) : In a higher timeframe, identify recent price highs or resistance levels that serve as BSL zones, typically the location of stop-loss orders for traders.
Observe a Liquidity Sweep : On a lower timeframe, the price must move above one of these liquidity zones and then reverse. This movement indicates a liquidity sweep.
Confirm Market Structure Shift : After the price reversal, look for a structural shift (MSS or CHoCH) indicated by the formation of a Lower High (LH) and Lower Low (LL).
Enter the Trade : Once the structural shift is confirmed, the price typically pulls back to an FVG. Enter a sell trade in this zone, set a stop-loss slightly above the recent high, and target Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) in the higher timeframe for profit.
🔵 Settings
Higher TimeFrame Levels : This setting allows you to specify the higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour, 4-hour, or daily) for identifying key liquidity zones.
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filter s:
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
In the indicator settings, you can customize the visibility of various elements, including MSS, FVG, and HTF Levels. Additionally, the color of each element can be adjusted to match your preferences. This feature allows traders to tailor the chart display to their specific needs, enhancing focus on the key data relevant to their strategy.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Turtle Soup trading setup is a powerful tool in the ICT style, enabling traders to exploit false breakouts in key liquidity zones. By combining concepts of liquidity, liquidity sweeps, market structure shifts (MSS and CHoCH), and pullbacks to FVG, this setup helps traders identify precise reversal points and execute trades with reduced risk and increased accuracy.
With applications across various markets, including forex, stocks, crypto, and futures, and its customizable indicator settings, the ICT Turtle Soup setup is ideal for both beginner and advanced traders. By accurately identifying liquidity zones in higher timeframes and confirming structure shifts in lower timeframes, this setup provides a reliable strategy for navigating volatile market conditions.
Ultimately, success with this setup requires consistent practice, precise market analysis, and proper risk management, empowering traders to make smarter decisions and achieve their trading goals.
Harmonic Pattern Detector (75 patterns)Harmonic Pattern Detector offers a record amount of "Harmonic Patterns" in one script, with 75 different patterns detected, together with up to 99 different swing lengths.
🔶 USAGE
Harmonic Patterns are detected from several different ZigZag lines, derived from Swings with different lengths (shorter - longer term)
Depending on the settings ' Minimum/Maximum Swing Length ', the user will see more or less patterns from shorter and/or longer-term swing points.
🔹 Fibonacci Ratio
Certain patterns have only one ratio for a specific retrace/extension instead of one upper and one lower limit. In this case, we add a ' Tolerance ', which adds a percentage tolerance below/above the ratio, creating two limits.
A higher number may show more patterns but may become less valid.
Hoovering over points B, C, and D will show a tooltip with the concerning limits; adjusted limits will be seen if applicable.
Tooltips in settings will also show which patterns the Fibonacci Ratio applies to.
🔹 Triangle Area Ratio
Using Heron's formula , the triangle area is calculated after the X-Y axis is normalized.
Users can filter patterns based on the ratio of the smallest triangle to the largest triangle.
A lower Triangle Area Ratio number leads to more symmetrical patterns but may appear less frequently.
🔶 DETAILS
Harmonic patterns are based on geometric patterns, where the retracement/extension of a swing point must be located between specific Fibonacci ratios of the previous swing/leg. Different Harmonic Patterns require unique ratios to become valid patterns.
In the above example there is a valid 'Max Butterfly' pattern where:
Point B is located between 0.618 - 0.886 retracement level of the X-A leg
Point C is located between 0.382 - 0.886 retracement level of the A-B leg
Point D is located between 1.272 - 2.618 extension level of the B-C leg
Point D is located between 1.272 - 1.618 extension level of the X-A leg
Harmonic Pattern Detector uses ZigZag lines, where swing highs and swing lows alternate. Each ZigZag line is checked for valid Harmonic Patterns . When multiple types of Harmonic Patterns are valid for the same sequence, the pattern will be named after the first one found.
Different swing lengths form different ZigZag lines.
By evaluating different ZigZag lines (up to 99!), shorter—and longer-term patterns can be drawn on the same chart.
🔹 Blocks
The patterns are organized into blocks that can be toggled on or off with a single click.
When a block is enabled, the user can still select which specific patterns within that block are enabled or disabled.
🔹 Visuals
Besides color settings, labels can show pattern names or arrows at point D of the pattern.
Note this will happen 1 bar after validation because one extra bar is needed for confirmation.
An option is included to show only arrows without the patterns.
🔹 Updated Patterns
When a Swing Low is followed by a lower low or a Swing High followed by a higher high , triggering a pattern identical to a previous one except with a different point D, the pattern will be updated. The previous C-D line will be visible as a dashed line to highlight the event. Only the last dashed line is shown when this happens more than once.
🔹 Optimization
The script only verifies the last leg in the initial phase, significantly reducing the time spent on pattern validation. If this leg doesn't align with a potential Harmonic Pattern , the pattern is immediately disregarded. In the subsequent phase, the remaining patterns are quickly scrutinized to ensure the next leg is valid. This efficient process continues, with only valid patterns progressing to the next phase until all sequences have been thoroughly examined.
This process can check up to 99 ZigZag lines for 75 different Harmonic Patterns , showcasing its high capacity and versatility.
🔹 Ratios
The following table shows the different ratios used for each Harmonic Pattern .
' min ' and ' max ' are used when only one limit is provided instead of 2. This limit is given a percentage tolerance above and below, customizable by the setting ' Tolerance - Fibonacci Ratio '.
For example a ratio of 0.618 with a tolerance of 1% would result in:
an upper limit of 0.624
a lower limit of 0.612

Market Structure Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure Oscillator indicator analyzes and synthesizes short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term market structure shifts and breaks, visualizing the output as oscillators and graphical representations of real-time market structures on the main price chart.
The oscillator presentation of the detected market structures helps traders visualize trend momentum and strength, identifying potential trend reversals, and providing different perspectives to enhance the analysis of classic market structures.
🔶 USAGE
A market structure shift signals a potential change in market sentiment or direction, while a break of structure indicates a continuation of the current trend. Detecting these events in real-time helps traders recognize both trend changes and continuations. The market structure oscillator translates these concepts visually, offering deeper insights into market momentum and strength. It aids traders in identifying overbought or oversold conditions, potential trend reversals, and confirming trend direction.
Oscillators often generate signals based on crossing certain thresholds or diverging from price movements, providing cues for traders to enter or exit positions.
The weights determine the influence of each period (short-term, intermediate-term, long-term) on the final oscillator value. By changing the weights, traders can emphasize or de-emphasize the importance of each period. Higher weights increase their respective market structure's influence on the oscillator value. For example, if the weight for the short-term period is set to 0, the final value of the oscillator will be calculated using only the intermediate-term and long-term market structures.
The indicator features a Cycle Oscillator component, which uses the market structure oscillator values to generate a histogram and provide further insights into market cycles and potential signals. The Cycle Oscillator aids in timing by allowing traders to more easily see the median length of an oscillation around the average point, helping them identify both favorable prices and favorable moments for trading.
Users can also display detected market structures on the price chart by enabling the corresponding market structure toggle from the "Market Structures on Chart" settings group.
🔶 DETAILS
The script initiates its analysis by detecting swing levels, which form the fundamental basis for its operations. It begins by identifying short-term swing points, automatically detected solely based on market movements without any reliance on user-defined input. Short-Term Swing Highs (STH) are peaks in price surrounded by lower highs on both sides, while Short-Term Swing Lows (STL) are troughs surrounded by higher lows.
To identify intermediate-term and long-term swing points, the script uses previously detected short-term swing points as reference points. It examines these points to determine intermediate-term swings and further analyzes intermediate-term swings to identify long-term swing points. This method ensures a thorough and unbiased evaluation of market dynamics, providing traders with reliable insights into market structures.
Once swing levels are detected, the process continues with the analysis of Market Structure Shifts (MSS) and Breaks of Structure (BoS). A Market Structure Shift, also known as a Change of Character (CHoCH), is a critical event in price action analysis that suggests a potential shift in market sentiment or direction. It occurs when the price reverses from an established trend, indicating that the current trend may be losing momentum and a reversal could be imminent.
On the other hand, a Break of Structure signifies the continuation of the existing market trend. This event occurs when the price decisively moves beyond a previous swing high or low, confirming the strength and persistence of the prevailing trend.
The indicator analyzes price patterns using a pure price action approach and identifies market structures for short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term periods. The collected data is then normalized and combined using specified weights to calculate the final Market Structure Oscillator value.
🔶 SETTINGS
The indicator incorporates user-defined settings, allowing users to tailor it according to their preferences and trading strategies.

🔶 RELATED SCRIPTS
Market-Structures-(Intrabar)
Wolfe Wave Detector [LuxAlgo]The Wolfe Wave Detector displays occurrences of Wolfe Waves, alongside a target line. A multiple swing detection approach is used to maximize the number of detected waves.
The indicator includes a dashboard with the number of detected waves, as well as the number of reached targets.
🔶 USAGE
The Wolfe Wave pattern is a chart pattern composed of five segments, with the initial segment extremities (points XABCD) forming a channel containing price variations.
After the price reaches point D , we can expect a reversal toward a target line (point E ). The target line is obtained by connecting and extending point X -> C .
The script draws the XABCD pattern and a projection of where E might potentially be located.
The projection is derived from the intersection between the target line and a line starting from D , parallel to B-C . From this line, margins are added, left and right, creating a wedge-shaped figure in most cases.
When the price passes the target line, this is highlighted by a dot. The dot and pattern are green by default when the target is above D and red when the target is below D . Colors can be edited in the settings. The dashed target line is colored in the opposite color.
As seen in the above example, the price trend can reverse after reaching the target line.
🔹 Symmetry
Ideally, the Wolfe Wave must have a degree of symmetry; every upward line should have a similar angle to the other upward lines, and the same should be true for the downward lines.
Also, the lines forming the channel should be as parallel as possible.
Users have the option to adjust the tolerance:
Margin controls the wave symmetry of the pattern
Angle controls the channel symmetry of the pattern
It's important to note that in both cases, a lower number will lead to more symmetrical patterns, but they may appear less frequently.
It is also important to note that increasing the Margin can delay validating the pattern. In the meantime, the price could surpass the channel in the opposite direction, invalidating and deleting the otherwise valid pattern.
🔹 Multiple Swings
Users can set a Minimum Swing length (for example 2) and a Maximum Swing length (for example 100) which defines the range of the swing point detection length, higher values for these settings will detect longer-term Wolfe patterns, while a larger range will allow for the detection of a larger number of patterns.
By using multiple swings, it is possible to find smaller next to larger patterns at the same time.
The dashboard shows the number of patterns found and targets reached. When, for example, bullish patterns are disabled in the settings, the dashboard only shows the results of bearish patterns.
🔹 Extend Target Line
The publication includes a setting that allows the Target Line to be extended up to 50 bars further. As seen in the above example, the Target Line can still be reached even after the pattern has been finalized. Once the Target Line is reached, it won't be updated further.
Here is another example of a Target Line being reached later on.
The Target Line acted as a support level, after which where the price changed direction.
🔹 Show Progression
An option is included to show the progression before the pattern is completed. Users can make use of the XABC pattern or visualize where point D should be positioned.
The focus lies on the bar range (between the left and right borders of the grey rectangle). The pattern is considered invalid and deleted when point D is beyond these limits. The height of the rectangle is optional. Ideally, the price should be located between the top and bottom of the rectangle, but it is not mandatory.
Show Progression has three options including:
Full: Show all lines of XABC plus line C-D and rectangle for the position of point D
Partial: Show line C-D and rectangle for the position of point D
None: Only show valid completed patterns
The 'Partial' option in the 'Show Progression' feature is designed to help users locate the desired position of point D without the visual clutter caused by the XABC lines. This can be useful for those who prefer a cleaner visual representation of the evolving pattern.
🔶 SETTINGS

[UST] Protein+Support/Resistance Script: A Comprehensive Overview
Thanks to Pmgjiv for providing the foundation to this improved Version.
In the world of trading, having a robust support and resistance analysis tool can make a significant difference in decision-making and overall strategy. Let's delve into the enhancements made to the support/resistance script and how each component contributes to a trader's arsenal:
Changes and improvements made for the script to help Traders make better rational decisions in their Trading:
1. Multiple Timeframes:
Integrating multiple timeframes into the analysis provides a multi-dimensional view of the market. Traders can now assess price action across different time horizons simultaneously. This feature allows for a deeper understanding of market dynamics and helps in identifying significant support and resistance levels across various timeframes.
2. Timeframe Labels Inside Zones:
By including timeframe labels within the zones, traders can easily identify the origin of each support or resistance level. This contextual information enhances clarity and facilitates more informed decision-making, especially when navigating through multiple timeframes.
3. Visual Zone Update:
Visual updates on zones enable traders to track changes in support and resistance levels in real-time. This dynamic feature enhances the analytical process by providing immediate insights into evolving market conditions, thereby enabling traders to adapt their strategies accordingly.
4. Zones Hit:
Understanding the frequency and intensity of zone hits offers valuable insights into the strength and relevance of support and resistance levels. Traders can gauge the significance of each zone based on its historical interaction with price, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of market sentiment and potential trading opportunities.
5. Option to Turn off Current Timeframe:
The ability to toggle off the current timeframe streamlines chart analysis by focusing only on the most critical support and resistance zones. This decluttering feature helps traders prioritize key levels, reducing cognitive overload and enhancing decision-making efficiency.
Explanation of Additional Functions:
a. Lookback:
The 'lookback' parameter allows traders to customize the age of support and resistance zones based on their trading style and preferences. By adjusting the lookback setting, traders can choose whether to prioritize recent price action or consider historical data, thus tailoring the analysis to their specific trading strategies.
b. Swinglength:
Swinglength determines the sensitivity of the support and resistance zones. By modifying this parameter, traders can control how aggressively the script identifies pivot points. A higher swinglength value results in smoother, more stable zones, whereas a lower value increases sensitivity, capturing smaller price movements.
c. ZigZag Indicator:
The ZigZag indicator plays a pivotal role in identifying significant price reversals. Its period setting determines the number of price bars considered before confirming a pivot point. Traders can utilize this indicator to identify key turning points in the market, aiding in the identification of robust support and resistance levels.
Impact of Sensitivity on Zones:
Adjusting the sensitivity of the ZigZag indicator directly influences the identification and delineation of support and resistance zones. Higher sensitivity levels result in fewer but more robust zones, capturing significant price movements. Conversely, lower sensitivity levels yield more zones, accommodating smaller price fluctuations but potentially introducing noise into the analysis.
d. S/R Range:
The ability to adjust the width of support and resistance zones allows traders to customize the breadth of key areas on a chart. Choosing a wider range encompasses a broader spectrum of prices, thereby identifying more comprehensive support and resistance levels. This flexibility enables traders to adapt their analysis to different market conditions and trading strategies.
Utilization in Trading:
Comprehensive Analysis: By incorporating multiple timeframes, traders gain a holistic view of market dynamics, enabling them to identify high-probability trading opportunities across various horizons.
Contextual Understanding: Timeframe labels within zones provide context, helping traders understand the significance of each level in relation to different timeframes and market conditions.
Real-time Adaptability: Visual zone updates facilitate real-time analysis, allowing traders to adjust their strategies promptly in response to changing market conditions.
Informed Decision-making: By considering zone hits, traders can assess the strength and relevance of support and resistance levels, enhancing their ability to make informed trading decisions.
Customized Analysis: Adjustable parameters such as lookback, swinglength, and sensitivity empower traders to tailor the analysis to their individual trading styles and preferences, enhancing precision and effectiveness.
In summary, these enhancements to the support/resistance script provide traders with a powerful toolkit for analyzing market dynamics, identifying key levels, and executing well-informed trading strategies across various timeframes and market conditions.
Fibonacci Trailing Stop [LuxAlgo]The Fibonacci Trailing Stop indicator creates a Trailing Stop, based on Fibonacci levels which are retrieved from the latest swing high & low . This provides a Trailing Stop-line .
🔶 USAGE
The Fibonacci Trailing Stop can indicate the current trend direction.
Shadows can also provide potential support/resistance areas.
Users can also display Fibonacci retracements.
🔶 CONCEPTS
🔹 Basic principles
There are 2 basic principles:
Every new swing will create or update a new Fibonacci pattern, potentially changing the Fibonacci Trailing Stop (FTS)
The Trend depends on whether the FTS is crossed/breached, the trigger is a chosen 'level/trigger'
(settings -> Fibonacci Trailing Stop -> Level/Trigger)
In an uptrend, these levels will be placed at the bottom half of the pattern.
In a downtrend, these levels will be placed at the top half of the pattern.
Once a trend is established, the Trailing Stop will only update in the direction of the trend:
Only higher when in an uptrend
Only lower when in a downtrend
If a Trailing Stop line is broken, the trend shifts to the other direction
The FTS line is accompanied by a secondary line (colour-filled), created by smaller swings (half of L/R, rounded to above)
EXAMPLES
• New bullish Trend/pattern
• Updating later on
• Bearish Trend -> breached -> New bullish Trend -> Trend is updated later on, and is breached at the end:
• Trend broken -> new Trend/direction:
• Bearish Trend -> breached -> New bullish Trend -> breached -> New bearish Trend (Here you see the latest cross of the bullish trend)
🔹 Shadows & latest Fibonacci
The indicator contains the option to show:
Latest Fibonacci
Shadows : previous Fibonacci Levels (will only appear after a 1 bar delay)
Shadows can be very useful to provide support/resistance areas, especially from large shadow-blocks .
When shadows are enabled, the color fill of Latest Fibonacci and FTS will be removed, this to provide less clutter:
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Swings
L: set left of pivothigh / pivotlow
R: set right of pivothigh / pivotlow
Swing labels: show labels of swings (updated in the same direction)
🔹 Fibonacci Trailing Stop
Level - Toggle - Custom value
• Choose pré-set levels [ -0.5, -0.382, -0.236 , 0, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618 ]
• Choose custom level -> Toggle enabled and adjust the number at the right
Trigger: set trigger for breaching the FTS, close or wick (high in downtrend/low in uptrend)
🔹 Fibonacci
Latest Fibonacci: show Latest Fibonacci
Shadows: show Shadows
Breaker Blocks with Signals [LuxAlgo]The Breaker Blocks with Signals indicator aims to highlight a complete methodology based on breaker blocks. Breakout signals between the price and breaker blocks are highlighted and premium/discount swing levels are included to provide potential take profit/stop loss levels.
This script also includes alerts for each signal highlighted.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Breaker Blocks
Length: Sensitivity of the detected swings used to construct breaker blocks. Higher values will return longer term breaker blocks.
Use only candle body: Only use the candle body when determining the maximum/minimum extremities of the order blocks.
Use 2 candles instead of 1: Use two candles to confirm the occurrence of a breaker block.
Stop at first break of center line: Do not highlight breakout signals after invalidation until reset.
🔹 PD Array
Only when E is in premium/discount zone: Only set breaker block if point E of wave ABCDE is within the corresponding zone.
Show premium discount zone: Show premium/discount zone.
Highlight Swing Break: Highlight occurrences of price breaking a previous swing level.
Show Swings/PD Arrays: Show swing levels/labels and pd areas.
🔶 USAGE
The Breaker Blocks with Signals indicator aims to provide users with a minimalistic display alongside optimal signals to be aware of for finding trade setups as shown below.
Here we can see a MSS occurred allowing the indicator to detect a Breaker Block (-BB) & display a red arrow to confirm this signal.
The signal(s) that can be used for potential entries are only during retests of the breaker blocks.
A potential strategy traders could use with this indicator is to target the corresponding Discount PD Arrays detected (for a short position) and Premium PD Arrays (for a long position).
In the image above we can see price generated the potential entry signals in orange & fell to the Discount PD Arrays as a logical setup to look for with this indicator.
As we can see in the image above, signals can be considered invalid when price closes above the 50% level in which it would be suggested to wait for another setup.
Users still looking for more potential setups based on the same breaker block can disable the "Stop at first break of center line" setting within the settings menu.
In the image above we can see a bullish example whereas price confirmed a bullish breaker block (+BB), had a quick pullback into it that was confirmed by the green arrow, and then reached the Premium PD Arrays.
While retests of breaker blocks can still function well if they occur later in the price action, it's most preferable for users to look for entry signals that are near confirmed breaker blocks (5-10 bars) opposed to waiting 20+ bars.
Additional take profits based on the occurence of the breaker blocks are given in order to provide targets after the occurence of a breaker block breakout.
🔶 DETAILS
Breaker blocks are formed after a mitigated order block, these can provide change of polarity opportunities, thus playing a role as a potential support/resistance. It is the re-test/retrace of price to a breaker block that will set the conditions to provide signals.
The above chart describes the creation of a breaker block.
The signal generation logic makes use of various rules described below:
Bullish Breaker Blocks:
opening price is within the breaker block, while the closing price is above the upper extremity of the breaker block.
Price did not cross the breaker block average in the interval since the previous breakout.
Bearish Breaker Blocks:
opening price is within the breaker block, while the closing price is below the lower extremity of the breaker block.
Price did not cross the breaker block average in the interval since the previous breakout.
When a new pattern is formed, all previous drawings are removed.

Automatic TrendlinesIntroduction
For a full free tutorial explaining this code in more detail, visit the backtest-rookies (.com) website.
This indicator will plot two trend lines at any given time. A resistance trend line and a support trend line. The resistance trend is shown with red circles and is created by joining swing highs together. The second is a support trend which is created by joining swing lows.
Since we need swings to make the trend, the trend line code contains code for the swing detection. You can play around with the swing detection to alter how frequently new trend lines are detected. Relying on swings also means that there will be some delay in trend detection depending on how you configure the swing detection. The higher you set rightbars, the more lag you will have before a trend is detected. However, at the same time the quality of the pivots found will increase. So it is a trade-off you need to come to terms with and decide what the best settings are for you.
Lines
A single trend line is made up of several components.
Pivot Points: Marked as blue or orange circles. There will be two pivots per trend.
Orange/Purple Lines: Connecting all pivot points. You will see these lines change direction slightly each time a new pivot is detected (new circles appear).
Green/Red Circle lines: Showing the trend line from the earliest moment a new trend is detected.
Blue Dashed lines: Joining the purple and green/red circle lines so the full trend line can be seen.
Note: The blue dashed lines use pine-scripts drawing functions. As such, there is a limit to how many of these can be placed on a chart. When the limit is reached, the oldest line will be removed so the newest can be drawn. This means that if you detect enough trends and scroll back in time, the blue dashed lines will disappear at some point!

Scalp Precision Matrix [BullByte]SCALP PRECISION MATRIX (SPM)
OVERVIEW
Scalp Precision Matrix (SPM) is a comprehensive decision-support framework designed specifically for scalpers and short-term traders. This indicator synthesizes five distinct analytical layers into a unified system that helps identify high-quality setups while avoiding common pitfalls that trap traders.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE CORE PROBLEM THIS INDICATOR ADDRESSES
Scalping demands rapid decision-making while simultaneously processing multiple data points. Traders constantly ask themselves: Is momentum still alive? Am I entering near a potential reversal zone? Is this the right session to trade? What is my actual risk-to-reward? Most traders either overwhelm themselves with too many separate indicators (creating analysis paralysis) or use too few (missing crucial context).
SPM was developed to consolidate these essential checks into one cohesive framework. Rather than overlaying disconnected indicators, each component in SPM directly informs and adjusts the others, creating an integrated analytical system.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY THESE SPECIFIC COMPONENTS AND HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER
The five analytical layers in SPM are not arbitrarily combined. Each addresses a specific question in the scalping decision process, and together they form a logical workflow:
LAYER 1: MOMENTUM FUEL GAUGE
This answers the question: "Does the current move still have energy?"
After any impulse move (a significant directional price movement), momentum naturally decays over time. The Fuel Gauge estimates remaining momentum by analyzing four factors:
Body Strength (30% weight): Compares recent candle body sizes against the historical average. Strong momentum produces candles with large bodies relative to their wicks. The calculation takes the 3-bar average body size divided by the 20-bar average body size, then scales it to a 0-100 range.
Wick Rejection (25% weight): Measures the wick-to-body ratio. When wicks are large relative to bodies, it suggests rejection and weakening momentum. A ratio of 2.0 or higher (wicks twice the body size) scores low; smaller ratios score higher.
Volume Consistency (20% weight): Compares recent 3-bar average volume against the lookback period average. Sustained moves require consistent volume support. Volume dropping off suggests the move may be losing participation.
Time Decay (25% weight): Tracks how many bars have passed since the last detected impulse. Momentum naturally fades over time. The typical impulse duration is adjusted based on the current volatility regime.
These components are weighted and combined, then smoothed with a 3-period EMA to reduce noise. The result is a 0-100% gauge where:
- Above 70% = Strong momentum (green)
- 40-70% = Moderate momentum (amber)
- Below 40% = Weak momentum (red)
- Below 20% = Exhausted (triggers EXIT warning)
The Fuel Gauge also estimates how many bars of momentum remain based on the current burn rate.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER : The Fuel Gauge is NOT order flow, volume profile, or depth of market data. It is a technical proxy calculated entirely from standard OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) data. The term "Fuel" is used metaphorically to represent estimated remaining momentum energy.
LAYER 2: TRAP ZONE DETECTION
This answers the question: "Am I walking into a potential reversal area?"
Price tends to reverse at levels where it has reversed before. SPM identifies these zones by detecting clusters of historical swing points:
How it works:
1. The indicator detects swing highs and swing lows using the Swing Detection Length setting (default 5 bars on each side required to confirm a pivot).
2. Recent swing points are stored (up to 10 of each type).
3. For each potential zone, the algorithm counts how many swing points cluster within a tolerance of 0.5 ATR.
4. Zones with 2 or more clustered swing points, positioned between 0.3 and 4.0 ATR from current price, are marked as Trap Zones.
5. A Confluence Score is calculated based on cluster density and proximity to current price.
The percentage displayed (e.g., "TRAP 85%") is a CONFLUENCE SCORE, not a probability. Higher percentages mean more swing points cluster at that level and price is closer to it. This indicates stronger historical significance, not a prediction of future reversal.
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER : Trap Zones are NOT institutional order flow, liquidity pools, smart money footprints, or any proprietary data feed. They are calculated purely from historical swing point clustering using standard technical analysis. The term "trap" describes how price action has historically reversed at these levels, potentially trapping traders who enter prematurely. This is pattern recognition, not market structure data.
LAYER 3: VELOCITY ANALYSIS
This answers the question: "Is price moving favorably right now?"
Velocity measures how fast price is currently moving compared to its recent average:
Calculation:
- Current velocity = Absolute price change from previous bar divided by ATR
- Average velocity = Simple moving average of velocity over the lookback period
- Velocity ratio = Current velocity divided by average velocity
Classification:
- FAST (ratio above 1.5 ): Price is moving significantly faster than normal. Good for momentum continuation plays.
- NORMAL (ratio 0.5 to 1.5) : Typical price movement speed.
- SLOW (ratio below 0.5 ): Price is moving sluggishly. Often indicates ranging or choppy conditions where scalping becomes difficult.
The velocity score contributes 18% to the overall quality score calculation.
LAYER 4: SESSION AWARENESS
This answers the question: "Is this a good time to trade?"
Different trading sessions have different characteristics. SPM automatically detects which major session is active and adjusts its quality assessment:
Session Times (all in UTC):
- A sia Session : 00:00 - 08:00 UTC
- London Session : 08:00 - 16:00 UTC
- New York Session : 13:00 - 21:00 UTC
- London/NY Overlap : 13:00 - 16:00 UTC
- Off-Peak : Outside major sessions
Session Quality Weighting:
- Overlap : 100 points (highest liquidity, best movement)
- London : 85 points
- New York : 80 points
- Asia : 50 points (tends to range more)
- Off-Peak : 30 points (lower liquidity, more false signals)
The session score contributes 17% to the overall quality calculation. Signals are also filtered to prevent firing during off-peak hours.
Note : These are fixed UTC times and may not perfectly match your broker's session boundaries. Use them as general guidance rather than precise timing.
LAYER 5: VOLATILITY REGIME ADAPTATION
This answers the question: "How should I adjust for current market conditions?"
SPM compares current volatility (14-period ATR) against historical volatility (50-period ATR) to categorize the market:
HIGH Volatility (ratio above 1.3): Current ATR is 30%+ above normal. SPM widens thresholds to filter noise and extends target projections.
NORMAL Volatility (ratio 0.7 to 1.3): Typical conditions. Standard parameters apply.
LOW Volatility (ratio below 0.7): Current ATR is 30%+ below normal. SPM tightens thresholds for sensitivity and reduces target expectations. The market state may show AVOID during prolonged low volatility.
This adaptation prevents false signals during erratic markets and missed signals during quiet markets.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE SYNERGY: WHY THIS COMBINATION MATTERS
These five layers are not independent indicators placed on one chart. They form an interconnected system:
- A signal only fires when momentum exists (Fuel above 40%), price is away from danger zones (Trap Zones factored into quality score), movement is favorable (Velocity contributes to score), timing is appropriate (Session is not off-peak), and volatility is accounted for (thresholds adapt to regime).
- The Trap Zones directly influence Entry Zone placement. Entry zones are positioned beyond trap zones to avoid getting caught in reversals.
- Target projections automatically adjust to avoid placing take-profit levels inside detected trap zones.
- The Fuel Gauge affects which signal tier fires. Insufficient fuel prevents all signals.
- Session quality is weighted into the overall score, reducing signal quality during less favorable trading hours.
This integration is the core originality of SPM. Each component makes the others more useful than they would be in isolation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW THE QUALITY SCORE IS CALCULATED
The Quality Score (0-100) synthesizes all layers into a single number for each direction (long and short):
For Long Quality Score:
- Fuel Component (28% weight) : Full fuel value if impulse direction is bullish; 60% of fuel value otherwise
- Trap Avoidance (22% weight) : 75 points if no trap zone below; otherwise 100 minus the trap confluence score (minimum 20)
- Velocity Component (18% weight) : Direct velocity score
- Session Component (17% weight) : Current session quality score
- Trend Alignment (15% bonus) : Adds 12 points if price is above the 20-period SMA
For Short Quality Score:
- Same structure but reversed (bearish impulse direction, trap zone above, price below SMA)
The direction with the higher score becomes the current Bias. A 12-point difference is required to switch bias, preventing flip-flopping in neutral conditions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNAL TYPES AND WHAT THEY MEAN
SPM generates four types of signals, each with specific visual representation:
PRIME SIGNALS (Cyan Diamond)
These represent the highest quality confluence. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Prime threshold (default 80)
- Bias aligns with signal direction
- Fuel is sufficient (above 40%)
- Session is active (not off-peak)
- Cooldown period has passed
Prime signals appear as cyan-colored diamond shapes. Long signals appear below the bar; short signals appear above.
STANDARD SIGNALS (Green Triangle Up / Red Triangle Down)
These represent good quality setups. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Standard threshold (default 75) but below Prime
- Same bias, fuel, and cooldown requirements as Prime
Standard signals appear as small triangles in green (long) or red (short).
CAUTION SIGNALS (Small Faded Circle)
These represent minimum threshold setups. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Caution threshold (default 65) but below Standard
- Same additional requirements
Caution signals appear as small, faded circles. These suggest the setup exists but with weaker confluence. Consider these only when broader market context supports them, or skip them entirely during uncertain conditions.
EXHAUSTION SIGNAL (Purple X with "EXIT" text)
This warning appears when the Fuel Gauge drops below 20% from above, indicating momentum has depleted. This is not a trade signal but a warning to:
- Consider exiting existing positions
- Avoid entering new trades in the current direction
- Wait for new momentum to develop
All signals use CONFIRMED bar data only (referencing the previous closed bar) to prevent repainting. Once a signal appears, it will never disappear or change position on historical bars.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
READING THE CHART ELEMENTS
TRAP ZONES (Red Dashed Box with "TRAP XX%" Label)
These mark price levels where multiple historical swing points cluster. The red dashed box shows the zone boundaries. The percentage is the confluence score indicating cluster strength and proximity.
How to use: When price approaches a trap zone, be cautious about entering in that direction. If your bias is LONG and there's a strong trap zone above, consider taking partial profits before price reaches it or adjusting your target below it.
ENTRY ZONES (Green Solid Box with "ENTRY" Label)
These show suggested entry areas based on the current bias direction. For LONG bias, the entry zone appears below the trap zone (buying the dip beyond support). For SHORT bias, it appears above the trap zone (selling the rally beyond resistance).
How to use: Rather than entering at current price, consider placing limit orders within the entry zone. This positions you beyond where typical trap reversals occur.
TARGET ZONES (Blue Dotted Box with "TARGET" Label)
These project potential take-profit areas based on ATR multiples, adjusted for:
- Current volatility regime (wider in high volatility, tighter in low)
- Impulse direction (larger targets when aligned with impulse)
- Nearby trap zones (targets adjust to avoid placing TP inside trap zones)
How to use: These are suggestions, not guarantees. Consider taking partial profits before the target or using trailing stops once price moves favorably.
STOP LEVEL (Orange Dashed Line with "STOP" Label)
This shows suggested stop-loss placement, calculated as 0.8 ATR beyond the trap zone (or 2.0 ATR from current price if no trap zone exists).
How to use: This provides a reference for risk calculation. The dashboard R:R ratio is calculated using this stop level.
Chart Example: Scalp Precision Matrix displays real-time market analysis through dynamic zones and quality scores. ENTRY/TARGET/STOP zones show potential price levels based on current market structure - they appear continuously as reference points, NOT as trade instructions. Actual trade signals (diamonds, triangles, circles) fire only when multiple conditions align: quality score thresholds are crossed, fuel gauge is sufficient, session is active, and cooldown period has passed. The zones help you understand market context; the signals tell you when to act.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SETTINGS EXPLAINED
CORE SETTINGS:
Analysis Lookback (Default: 20)
Number of bars used for statistical calculations including average volume and average body size. Higher values create smoother but slower-reacting analysis. Lower values are more responsive but may include more noise.
Swing Detection Length (Default: 5)
Bars required on each side to confirm a swing high or low. A setting of 5 means a swing high must have 5 lower highs on each side. Lower values detect more swings (more trap zones, more sensitivity). Higher values find only major pivots (fewer but more significant zones).
Impulse Sensitivity (Default: 1.5)
Multiplier for ATR when detecting impulse moves. Lower values (like 1.0) detect smaller price movements as impulses, refreshing the fuel gauge more frequently. Higher values (like 2.5) require larger moves, making impulse detection less frequent but more significant.
SIGNAL SETTINGS:
Prime/Standard/Caution Thresholds (Defaults: 80/75/65)
These control the quality score required for each signal tier. You can adjust these based on your preference:
- More conservative : Raise thresholds (e.g., 85/80/70) for fewer but higher-quality signals
- More aggressive : Lower thresholds (e.g., 75/70/60) for more signals with slightly lower quality
Signal Cooldown (Default: 8 bars)
Minimum bars between signals to prevent signal spam. After any signal fires, no new signals can appear until this many bars pass. Increase for fewer signals in choppy markets; decrease if you want faster signal refresh.
Show Prime/Standard/Caution/Exhaustion Signals
Toggle each signal type on or off based on your preference.
ZONE DISPLAY:
Show Trap Zones / Entry Zones / Target Zones / Stop Levels
Toggle each zone type on or off. Turning off zones you don't use reduces chart clutter.
Zone Transparency (Default: 88)
Controls how transparent zone boxes appear. Higher values (closer to 95) make zones barely visible; lower values (closer to 75) make them more prominent.
Zone History (Default: 25 bars)
How far back zone boxes extend on the chart. Purely visual preference.
BACKGROUND:
Background Mode (Options: Off, Subtle, Normal)
Controls whether and how intensely the chart background is colored. Subtle is barely noticeable; Normal is more visible; Off disables background coloring entirely.
Background Type (Options: Bias, Fuel)
- Bias : Colors background based on current directional lean (green for long, red for short)
- Fuel : Colors background based on momentum level (green for high fuel, amber for moderate, red for low)
DASHBOARD / QUICK PANEL:
Show Dashboard / Show Quick Panel
Toggle each panel on or off.
Compact Mode
When enabled, the main dashboard shows only essential rows (quality bars, bias, R:R, fuel, session) without entry/stop/target levels, volatility, velocity, or time remaining.
Position Settings
Choose where each panel appears on your chart from six options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left, Middle Right, Middle Left.
ALERTS:
Alert Prime Signals / Standard Signals / Fuel Exhaustion
Enable or disable TradingView alerts for each condition. When enabled, you can set up alerts in TradingView that will notify you when these conditions occur.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES AND USAGE
OPTIMAL TIMEFRAMES:
- 1-minute to 5-minute : Best for active scalping with quick entries and exits
- 5-minute to 15-minute : Balanced scalping with slightly more confirmation
- 15-minute to 1-hour : Short-term swing entries, fewer but more significant signals
Zone visualizations only appear on intraday timeframes to prevent chart clutter on higher timeframes.
BEST PRACTICES:
1. Trade primarily during LONDON, NEW YORK, or OVERLAP sessions. The indicator weights these sessions higher for good reason - liquidity and movement are typically better.
2. Prioritize PRIME signals. These represent the highest confluence and have proven most reliable. Use STANDARD signals as secondary opportunities. Treat CAUTION signals with extra scrutiny.
3. Respect the Fuel Gauge. Avoid entering new positions when fuel is below 40%. When the EXIT signal appears, seriously consider closing or reducing positions.
4. Pay attention to TRAP warnings. When the dashboard shows a trap zone in your bias direction, be cautious about holding through that level.
5. Verify R:R before entry. The dashboard shows the risk-to-reward ratio. Ensure it meets your minimum requirements (many traders require at least 1.5:1 or 2:1).
6. When state shows AVOID or EXIT, step back. These conditions typically produce poor results.
7. Combine with your own analysis. SPM is a decision-support tool, not a standalone system. Use it alongside your understanding of market structure, news events, and overall context.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
Scenario : You're watching a 5-minute chart during London session. A cyan diamond (Prime Long signal) appears below the bar.
Before entering, you check the dashboard:
- State shows "PRIME" - conditions are favorable
- Fuel shows "72% (8)" - plenty of momentum remaining (approximately 8 bars)
- R:R shows "1:2.3" - acceptable risk-to-reward ratio
- Session shows "LONDON" - active session with good liquidity
- No TRAP warning in dashboard - no immediate resistance cluster in your way
- Entry zone visible on chart at a lower price level
- Stop and Target zones clearly marked
With this confluence of factors, you have context for a more informed decision. The signal indicates quality, the fuel suggests momentum remains, the R:R is favorable, and no immediate trap threatens your trade.
However, you also notice the target zone sits just below where a trap zone would be if there were one. This is by design - SPM adjusts targets to avoid placing them inside reversal zones.
This multi-factor confirmation delivered in a single glance is what SPM provides.
Chart Example :This chart demonstrates how the Scalp Precision Matrix identifies key market transitions. After a strong bullish impulse (cyan PRIME signal at ~08:30), price reached a historical reversal cluster (TRAP ZONE at 92,300). The indicator detected momentum exhaustion (purple EXIT signal) as fuel dropped below 20%, warning traders to exit longs. Now showing a SHORT bias with entry/stop/target zones clearly marked. The 92% trap zone confluence indicates a strong cluster of previous swing highs where price historically reversed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DATA WINDOW VALUES
For detailed analysis and strategy development, SPM exports the following values to TradingView's Data Window (visible when you hover over the chart with the indicator selected):
- Long Quality Score (0-100)
- Short Quality Score (0-100)
- Fuel Gauge (0-100%)
- Risk:Reward Ratio
These values can be useful for understanding how the indicator behaves over time and for developing your own insights about when it works best for your trading style.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NON-REPAINTING CONFIRMATION
All signals in SPM are generated using CONFIRMED bar data only. The signal logic references the previous closed bar's values ( and in Pine Script terms). This means:
- Signals appear at the OPEN of the new bar (after the previous bar closes)
- Signals will NEVER disappear once they appear
- Signals will NEVER change position on historical bars
- What you see in backtesting is what you would have seen in real-time
The dashboard and zones update in real-time to provide current market context, but the trading signals themselves are non-repainting.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
TERMINOLOGY CLARIFICATION:
This indicator uses terms that might imply access to data it does not have. To be completely transparent:
- "Trap Zones" are calculated from historical swing point clustering. They are NOT institutional liquidity pools, order blocks, smart money footprints, or any form of order flow data. The term "trap" is metaphorical, describing how price has historically reversed at these levels.
- "Fuel Gauge" is a technical momentum proxy. It is NOT order flow, volume profile, depth of market, or bid/ask data. It estimates momentum remaining based entirely on standard OHLCV price and volume data.
- "Quality Scores" are weighted combinations of the technical factors described above. A high score indicates multiple conditions align favorably according to the indicator's logic. It does NOT predict or guarantee trade success.
- The percentages shown on trap zones are CONFLUENCE SCORES measuring cluster density and proximity. They are NOT probability predictions of reversal.
TRADING RISK WARNING:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to assist with decision-making. It does not constitute financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice. Past performance of any signal or pattern does not guarantee future results. Markets are inherently unpredictable.
Always use proper risk management. Define your risk before entering any trade. Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Consider consulting with a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ORIGINALITY STATEMENT - NOT A MASHUP
Scalp Precision Matrix is an original work that combines several analytical concepts into a purpose-built scalping framework. While individual components like ATR calculations, pivot detection, session timing, and trend alignment exist in various forms elsewhere, the specific implementation here represents original synthesis:
- The Fuel Gauge decay model with its four-component weighted calculation
- The Trap Zone cluster detection with confluence scoring
- The multi-factor quality scoring system that integrates all layers
- The trap-aware entry and target zone placement logic
- The volatility regime adaptation across all components
- The session weighting is integrated into the quality assessment
The indicator does not simply overlay separate indicators on one chart. It creates interconnected layers where each component informs and adjusts the others. This integration is the core originality of SPM.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For best results, combine SPM with your own market understanding and always practice proper risk management.

Developer Note: Bias & Position Framing
This daily view is preparatory, not executable.
The purpose of the Daily timeframe is to define directional bias, not entries.
It helps frame which side of the market deserves attention and which activity should be ignored.
The goal here is context, not action.
________________________________________
Purpose on Daily
The Daily timeframe is used to:
• Define directional bias for the week
• Prepare position-building zones
• Identify environments where participation is unnecessary or elevated-risk
• Reduce overtrading by narrowing focus
Daily charts answer one question only:
“If I participate this week, which side makes sense?”
________________________________________
What Matters Most (Public View)
SA Range Indicator (RI):
→ Is the market transitioning or trending?
→ Is energy building, releasing, or rotating?
SA ZoneEngine (visual context only):
→ Are daily moves aligned with higher-timeframe structure?
→ Is price operating with or against dominant bias?
These visuals explain environment, not decisions.
________________________________________
How to Interpret Public Daily Posts
• Daily is not timing
• Daily is not execution
• Daily is not a signal
Daily charts prepare the trader mentally and structurally by clarifying:
